Guest Posted: Fri Jan 09, 2004 9:11 pm    Post subject: PageControl I am using a PageControl component in my latest Delphi 7 app, and found that when I set the form that the control is on's color, the PageControl takes on the same color. This is not what I want, and wonder if there is any way to make the PageControl one color, and the underlying form a different color. Rick B.

The easiest way is in fact to drop the pagecontrol on a panel (with no bevels), set the panels color to what you want for the pagecontrol, and align the pagecontrol to alClient. The panel is completely covered this way, so you don't see it, but its color determines how the pagecontrol looks like. -- Peter Below (TeamB) Use the newsgroup archives : http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com http://www.prolix.be Back to top Rick B.

Are there any property settings for the panel that need to be changed, outside of the bevel settings? Rick B.

Guest Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 8:03 pm    Post subject: Re: PageControl I also tried using panels all aroung the page control, and this worked if I set alignment for the panels for top, left, right, and bottom respectively. However, when the app runs, the main form border with the title and border icons disappears, leaving nothing but the main window with the page control and panels showing. I even changed the panel alignments back to alNone, and the problem still persists. Any ideas? Rick B.

If you are running XP you have to set the panels ParentColor and ParentBackground properties to false. Not that there is a bug in ParentColor, you have to set it to false, then true, then false again to make the change stick. -- Peter Below (TeamB) Use the newsgroup archives : http://www.mers.com/searchsite.html http://www.tamaracka.com/search.htm http://groups.google.com http://www.prolix.be Back to top Rick B.
